I'm going to buy a new modular in the next couple months and I was curious who out there has them. I'm getting a Eurorack system which is new territory for me, came up on PAiA (4700), Buchla (200, easel), EMS (VCS3), ARPs (Ody, Axxe, and Omni) and other stuff. Been really lucky so far but it's time for a system I can get really psyched on and/or be totally my own. Decided on Make Noise pretty much through and through, with a Doepfer Wasp Filter and some other stuff thrown in. Case is gonna be DIY, built into a Halliburton Zero Case.

good luck with doing that if you can. it took me about two years to pile up 25u.

i'd tell you to start with a modularworld case but he called it quits. try to land one used if you can, they're a great starter. monorocket cases are nice too but i fucking hate their sliding nuts (TWSS).

Thinking about getting in to modulars, I'd like a nice little system for noise creation. Are there any good guides around to getting started as far as how different types of modules work and how they work together and everything I should consider before embarking on this journey?

Best tip for this: Join the Muffwiggler forum and read, read read.

If you are familiar with basic synthesis, you will know the basic elements needed. However, you will be surprised what people manage to pull out of a module or two with a little creative patching.

man i hadn't caught the make noise "system" packs with cases & power yet. i'd have to look it up (cut myself off from modular, like i said...) but bet distro boards are already incorporated. his modules AND his support are both awesome.

I'm replacing my Moog FreqBox with a TBD module (I'd like to find something with similar functionality if at all possible) to use in conjunction with my Moog Low Pass which I plan on making a dedicated pannel for so that I can patch the VCO into the filter for fucked up sounds.

Anyone have a suggestion for something kind of close to the FreqBox in functionality? Or something better that won't break the bank?

I can't think of a single module that would cover all those functions, but every one of those would be capapble with the correct modules in your rack.

Maybe look up some Doepfer VCOs to see if they are capable of FM, and also an envelope follower. Your VCAs will also come in useful for patching up a work-a-like!
